Which Colors Do You Find Most Difficult To Find In Clothes and Accessories?

ECBG — Sun, 21 May 2017 15:09:25 GMT

It seems I have had a constant battle with navy forever! Navy everything, tops, shirts, sweaters, belts especially!

If I do find it, it's so dark it seems black!

In the fall it's red violet! It looks great with gray and navy for fall since I can't wear yellow greens.

Remember about 10-15 years ago when there were no navy shoes? Now there are some, but so few styles that they may not be something you love!

The colors seem to come and go. For awhile there, navy shoes were offered but it was the weirdest shade of blue. I also recall when I couldn't find a decent shade of brown in slacks.

I love olive and have been accumulating olive everything while I can get it. Greens and teals (especially in pants) also seem to come and go.

I went to Catholic school for 12 years and my uniform was navy and white all 12 years. I know my navy, lol.

My first thought was navy! I've been searching for a good pair of navy sandals to replace my Donald J. Pliners for about a year. Nothing too casual or too dressy...not sure it exists! Also always looking for some good navy tops and sweaters--sometimes I've gotten lucky with Land's End, Talbot's, and Linea--but would love to see it in the stores and try on before buying.

I wear most shades of green well and yet almost always have trouble finding much in green, even those seasons when it's supposedly 'in'.

I wanna know what happened to the Pantone color of the year, "greenery". I love that color and seems to me there should be more stuff out there but there isn't. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I doubt it.

Green is my favorite color and while the color of the Year isn't really my color I have noticed I don't see it anywhere! Everyone seems to be glomming onto green and passing it off as the color of the year regardless of shade of green

@ECBG

My perpetual issue with the color Navy is that while I have a lot of it hanging in my closet none of it matches! Very frustrating. Unlike green where different shades seem to go together this is not as true with blue

I have to agree-- navy shoes have been very hard to find except the last few years...

And, the one color I get the most compliments on, mint green, has been hard to find in things I like. Although I did get that beaded cardigan from Quacker Factory that is the perfect cool minty shade. Aqua and teal are much more easy to find.

Have also been collecting certain shades of lighter olive and moss over the years, whenever they appear!

Exactly !! Even when green is supposedly a hot color, I never can find it !! I remember a few years ago when 'emerald' was the color of the year and try as I might, it wasn't to be found... It seems like quite a few people have a thing against green, but for those of us who like it and on whom it looks good, you'd think there'd be a little more of it around from which to choose !!

I would say lavenders and really pretty green colors. There are plenty of blues but never enough really nice greens.

Good, dark navy! If navy is too light, I think it looks cheap. Talbots has good navy clothes.

'I need more green' (again), but I'm not running across green anywhere, so far. One would think that Spring/Summer would offer lots of green(s).

In clothes -

Deep, rich hunter green. Love it in the fall/winter for sweaters, or a deep, rich plum also.

And, a nice navy - not too dark it looks black and not to light either that looks cheap.

Accessories I do not have a problem with - pretty much stick to the more basic colors there.

I have more difficulty finding the right shade and brightness. Altho I love blue, I have difficulty with blues that don't quite "go with" denim, but that's because I'm picky. Intensely dislike navy that looks black three feet away!

I agree--I try to find emerald green and have such a hard time finding it. It's either a dark teal or jade or mint or grass. I want emerald green!!

This is a pretty shade.

I also have a hard time finding a semi- bright yellow that's not too bright-or neon or pale. I want a sunny, warm yellow!

Absolutely green! My fave color & so hard to find.

Also, what ever color my skin is, can NOT match it!

Agree - had trouble finding navy shoes a couple of years ago. More now. Wish a solid navy blazer wasn't so difficult to match with pants. I just wear dk indigo trouser jeans, a top that pops and call it a day.

If descriptors of green were consistant -- pine, emerald, evergreen, true green, teal, etc., that would be easier, too.

Khaki and tan for crops and shorts. Must be out of style, but I'd still wear them.
